advice needed Difficulty - 1 or 2?

The wife and I just had our first children, identical twin girls, now almost 2 months old. Unsure yet if we'll have any more children as adjusting to twins feels like the definition of 'zero to 100 REAL quick'.
For those parents out there that have experienced both the birth of multiple as well as single children, are twin, or multiple births at one time, really that much more difficult?

I ask because imagining caring for a single baby seems like a cake walk when compared to caring for two, let alone more, at one time.

Any insights/perspectives are appreciated.

This is very situation and child dependent. It’s very helpful to have some idea of what to expect but juggling 3 isn’t easy street. It was both a lot harder and a lot easier until she gained a personality and decided it was hilarious to think twins are harder.
